I've had Prism's design for some time now I just don't really bother with her. The fuzzy leg part was an obstacle, also the annoying amount of hair in general. That and she was inspired from this bizarre "Pokegirl" fettish thing. I promised myself I'd try and show more elemental aspects, since she's ironically my only multi-elemental. So, I figured fire is interesting, and she's about the only character that can go into a pure fire element (Sunkissed and Sailor Sun sort of fail in the fire department, and that leaves me only with about 3 dragons after that). Okay, I admit it, half the temptation of doing this was that the Liquify Tool makes things go faster, and I wanted an image, and also I wanted to see how far those creepy Photoshop edited super models can go from the original image. Truth be told, they go very, very far.

Had a sketch lying around for this gesture. A Camera, running around the house in not much and lots of self-inflicted blinding later gets a lot of bad images that don't work. Tons of tweaking later, bikini references from Victoria Secret and an obsession for burning things gets something like the finished result. How I love her bikini. As a composition the image holds itself well, unfortunately I still can't mix any sense of realism into photos and vice-versa. Tried, failed, but on the plus side the original images and the final look absolutely dissimilar as possibly can be. Mission accomplished, I guess.
